remember visited directories in shell

linuxnube · 07-01-2004, 08:08 AM

In the command shell (fedora default shell), is there a way to remember where I've been?

It seems I remember from a long time ago, the ability to push the currect directory onto a stack when I cd'ed elsewhere and then pop back when I wanted. Now this could have been a different OS (I don't remember) but I am hoping it is possible under the Linux shell.

Thanks!

Not sure if this is any help to you, if you type "cd -" then you will go back to the directory that you cd'd from.

Useful for popping into a directory to do something and then back again.

pushd and popd are of course, the comnplete solution.
